Girl Scouts of America Brownie Troop 652 of Springfield Va visited the Greater Springfield Volunteer Fire Department

on May 13, 2009 to learn more about Fire & Rescue services in their community.?? Brownie scouts accompanied by

parents were given a tour of Station 22 which was led by Career Firefighter Gary Butler and Volunteer EMT Cody Collins.

The tour included information about our fire and rescue equipment, our station and what it's like to be a

Firefighter / EMT.??It was great having them stop by - and at GSVFD - always welcomed !

Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Department's

Fire Explorer Post 1949

Fire Explorers learn first-hand how exciting the firefighter's job is by observation and being

side-by-side with actual Fairfax County Firefighters. Sponsored by the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20 are invited to become Fire Explorers.

Following an introductory training program, Fire Explorers may Ride-Along as observers and see real

emergencies as they happen along with firefighters and paramedics.

Fire Explorers assist with virtually all routine tasks in the community and around the fire station,

including community relations, fire prevention, equipment and station maintenance, and training.

Fire Explorers wear a uniform, and are provided helmets, firefighter gear, and other safety clothing.

Becoming a Fire Explorer is an excellent way to develop leadership qualities and gain experience that

will be helpful in nearly any field of endeavor.
